Many gamers think that Tecmo Koei Europe’s strategy this generation revolved around their three core franchises, wheeling out endless sequels and revisions. While it’s true that the Warriors, Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden branding has fallen upon dozens of titles there has been startling amounts of innovation and attempts to redefine genre within and around. From the underappreciated Warriors: Legends of Troy and Trinity: Souls of Zill O’ll to the criminally ignored Bladestorm: The Hundred Years’ War and Undead Knights, there have been moments which deserved far greater recognition than they received. Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is destined to become another misunderstood title, with many attributing the tagline to it being ‘another Ninja Gaiden’ and not truly giving it the opportunity to stand on its own two feet.
KOEI Tecmo Recently filed a trademark application for the poorly reviewed Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z.
Wow! I seriously loved the first one. Don't know why it was reviewed poorly, it was fun as hell and the humor was great.
I seriously hope they make a sequel in the same style as the first.
Finally got around to playing this one this year. I understand why it got bashed in the reviews but I still enjoyed it as a whole. The combat combos were solid and the traversal prompts looked sweet.
Twinfinite Writes: Koei Tecmo's Nioh shares a lot in common with both Ninja Gaiden and Dark Souls. Could the new title be the future for Team Ninja's flagship series?

Team Ninja creative director discusses the whereabouts of the iconic action franchise, says Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z "wasn't the right move" for the series.
I am a die hard fan but ninja gaiden 3 sucked so make it more like 1 and 2 or not at all.
They should have known better than to make Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. That didn't look or feel like a Ninja Gaiden game at all. They need to make another one like Ninja Gaiden Sigma that came out on PS3. That was good.
or why don't you redeem yourself and make a seriously good ninja gaiden game instead of making fans wait.
Ninja gaiden... loved that game and remember those great moment on the Xbox.. I'm not much of a fan of remasters but I would buy a pro or Scorpio remaster of ninja gaiden day one...
